Grand Pontet 2008

From a 35-acre vineyard owned by Sylvie Pourquet, this 2008 was produced from yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare. A blend of 70% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it displays outstanding density as well as sweet, mineral-laced black fruits interwoven with hints of smoke and oak. Full-bodied, pure, and nicely layered with moderate tannin, and very good acidity, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and drink well for 10-15 years. Wine Advocate # 182.
